Only after fully diagnosed by a quantified practitioner - not some parent who uses Dr Google

@nedkelly From observing some of my acquaintances, if you doctor shop, you can eventually find a doctor who will make this diagnosis. A friend of mine went to 11 doctors before she got the diagnosis she wanted. People who are the parents of "special needs" children get respect and are often seen as noble, struggling parents, while the parents of an unruly out of control child get only criticism and scorn.
